>a million bajillion planets
Why would I be hyped for that
June released date killed my hype persoanlly. I just got so tired of the devs dodging questions and putting the same information over and over again.
Looking forward to chilling out in space. Shame it's still so far away though. The game looked fairly complete from all the gameplay we've seen. Not sure what else they might be changing. Maybe just a lot of optimisation.
It looked really cool at first but I think the wanted level system killed it
>Land on a planet filled with hostile life
>Hostile life attacks you
>You retaliate
>BEEP BOOP UR BAD 1 STAR WANTED LEVEL
>Robo-cops continuously attack you, leading to retaliation and increasing your wanted level or dying like a bitch

Apparently there is something special at the center of the galaxy, but they aren't saying what and it will take a long time for anyone to reach it in-game
>>318251929
I sure am. Space games are extremely rare. The only thing we had is barebones elite dangerous and scam citizen for retards.
I feel like, and just give me a minute here, but I think that, and don't hate this instantly please, but I feel like this game could almost benefit from being an MMO, or rather a quasi-MMO. Or at least some sort of big multiplayer option.
Like imagine if you could fly around the galaxy with friends and find planets and shit, and then one day a group of strangers shows up on your planet you've started to colonize and then a war breaks out with invaders or blah blah blah I don't know, it probably wouldn't work with THIS game, but it really got me thinking about how cool a game like that would be if done right.

If you reach the center of the galaxy they send a man to your house and he beats you unconscious with a 3 foot long, 12 lb, black rubber dildo.
>>318257131
the lead dev talks to you and give you a special item
>>318257854
Is the special item a coupon for 3 free hookers?
No?
Then fuck this retarded game.
>>318251929
Infinite puddle deep content isn't fun. We learned this already. No Man's Sky is hoping to scoop in the sucker kids who haven't learned this lesson yet.
The only thing that could save this game is good ship combat and some economy gameplay. Even then that would make it worth around 20$ full price.
>>318251929
Huh, I actually forgot about this game.
The last I saw of the game didn't really make me want to buy it.
Sure, you land on planets and look at the critters, and maybe destroy some rocks, but that seems to be it.
What about interstellar warfare, or exploring hidden ruins on a deserted wasteland, or cool mysterious/horrifying space stuff, or the brutal elements of space?
I also hate how it's multiplayer only.
Is it to much to ask for a single player space game, with other worldly horrors, that makes you feel insignificant?
But that's just me.
Other than that, the game looks okay.
>>318257131
Yea, that's the center of the galaxy.
One location.
Out of the whole galaxy in the game and only one location has something interesting.
I'm not that anon, but only making one area of your game interesting, only because it's mysterious and hard to reach, sounds like shitty game design.
>>318257964
>Wanting to fuck broken and diseased beings, who see you as nothing but a way to make ends meet.
Fuck anon, just get a fucking job or throw out your shit taste.
>>318258401

You're kidding, right?
There's no multiplayer. Everyone plays in the same universe but you can't meet or interact directly with other people
>>318257489

Stop this meme.
>>318260245
>1999+16
>not knowing X+Y is older than "it's the current year"
>>318258740
What. Source on that? Because so far the devs made it sound a little different.
>>318258740
>>318261364
You have a very rare chance of meeting another player, but the multiplayer is very background. Definitely not a focus. You can play in offline mode too. AFAIK anyway.
>>318251929
Definitely the most anticipated meme game of 2016!!
>>318258401
>broken and diseased
I'm not wasting my free coupons on cheap ass whores, anon. I'm getting some high class bitches.
>>318261457
they said there is an astronomical small chance to meet someone.. that means you wont, ever. but you can find the remains of other players ships and the destruction they caused, nothing else.
a multiplayer game without any chance to interact with anyone isnt a multiplayer game. well no mans sky isnt a game to begin with anyways, this does not belong into /v/
>>318263853
Do you wear fingerless gloves irl? You seem really fucking annoying.
>>318264145
I say they are full of shit. There is no multiplayer in this turd, only the Planets you discover and the changes on them get synced with other players, just in case they stumble over the same place. Why even bothering with a netcode, if you never ever will meet someone since each player is scattered across the entire galaxy. Even if there is a netcode capable to synchronize all these people, they will never have the chance to find each other.
>open world
it's shit
>>318252551
Exactly this. It looked cool at first but I don't see the appeal anymore. Had they announced it later I might have still fallen for it being good on release.
>>318251929
It looks nice
But the whole game is just shooting rocks to sell resources to get a better hyper drive to shoot different colored rocks to sell them to get a better hyper drive

Don't project your fingerless gloves at me, kid.
>>318251929
it looks fun, but it also looks like it would get old quickly
>>318265347
well, this game is made by stoners who sell over hyped shovel ware to enable them to afford their weed. to make even more senseless games to sell so they can buy even better drugs and so on...
>>318265430
can also be played offline
>>318257131
>Apparently there is something special at the center
Where have I heard that before? And good luck finding it before some turboNEET poopsocks his way to it and spoils the surprise.
>>318251929
The devs said they are afraid PS4 hardware will be too weak for the game, so expect a big downgrade
>>318265638
really, it makes no difference, you wont even notice if you are online or offline.
>>318251929
I was really hyped but now, I'm thinking it's a vaporware and I'm depressed abouti it.
>>318265597
the lead programmer guy seriously looks always stoned when hes on stage.
I don't know what other people are expecting, but this is basically going to be Space Truck Simulator for me and that sounds FANFUCKINGTASTIC.
>game gets released
>planets are named after memes
>secrets are found the next week
>dataminers going to find potential dlc
>>318265959
nope, that would be elite.
no mans sky has even less things to do.
>>318265959
More like SpaceDandysimulator.
>>318265827
no, i am just clarifying that you can also play offlinemakes it easier to pirate
>>318257131
The game is sounding extremely like Spore. Except the kiddy evolution.
I'll probably play it for the soundtrack at least

Yeah I see it being casual crap
It didn't come out yet, but I hope it has these...if not :
>No option to take over said planet.
>No option to build base on said planet.
>No option to create a guild / empire of your own so your friends can join and you can find each other easily.WE OVERLORD NOW.
>No option to build civilization onto planets.
>No joining other Empires and over throwing them.
>No element where your ship fucks up on a deserted planet you must survive and rebuild it.
Only interest is the center of the universe.
What's the point if you can't do a lot of stuff with the space and planets?
Oh yeah I can upgrade my ship and equipment but that'll be a chore.
NEVER MAKE EXPLORATION A CHORE.
>>318252551
This.
>>318264602
I agree.
>>318269828
>NEVER MAKE EXPLORATION A CHORE.
You're not wrong.

I believe the dev said not every planet is protected.
>>318271873
Doesn't mean exploration would become boring.
I was excited when they announced it, but the long wait for release has made me completely forget about it.
You can do anything in this game.
>>318274116
GIVE
EXAMPLES
DAMMIT
You can't just say shit.
>>318251929
Between the release date being so far away and my slow realisation that this isn't going to be a spooky, insane kind if universe. That animal will be an amalgam of pre defined parts. I'm still going to get it, its still a space exploration game its just not the one I want. I want entire quadrants of space to be swallowed by sentient planets. I want strange species that aren't just space cow #10 I want space to be horrifying and exciting at the same time, I have a feeling no man's sky will be solid but ultimately a little more boring than I'd like a space exploration game to be, still if the technology behind it works well maybe someone will use something similar to make the exciting/horrific space exploration game of my dreams.
I'm the biggest space game fag in the world and even I don't get why anyone is hyped for this.
It looks like hot garbage for idiots who think Minecraft is the apex of gaming.
Since the devs are promising:
>LIMITLESS PLANETS TO EXPLORE
>YOULL NEVER DICOVER ALL THE PLANETS IN OUR LIMITLESS UNIVERSES
>EACH PLANET IS GINORMOUS AND WOULD TAKE YOU WEEKS TO FULLY EXPLORE
I am expecting a major letdown. I would love to be wrong, of course.
>>318251929
NMS = Exploration + Naming stuff. Once you have seen the main iterations you'll be bored as fuck
Still not out for another half a year. This piece of shit had nothing but novelty value going for it from the get-go, announcing it 3 months early would have been overkill and they knocked that shit out of the park.
>>318275728
Pretty much. Space battles that look on par with fucking RATCHET AND CLANK in complexity, baby's first FPS sequence, and walking around procedurally generated planets with nothing interesting on them.
It will be the same as every other procedurally generated, content limited game ever made. Unless it has A++ action gameplay, it will be a boring waste of time.
(It won't have A++ action gameplay)
>>318257131
Yeah, gold trophy.

>>318275092

>>318251929
it doesnt look as profound or dynamic enough for exploring alien planets. they dont feel alien enough
>>318251929
Does anyone know what this game actually is yet? Is it even a game?
Like we've seen all these demos and videos for it and no one actually knows what it is.
>the world in No Man's Sky is huge look at all these planets
>look at this brand new planet and how big and special it is
Okay that's cool but what's the fucking point of this game.
Honestly, so far it just seems like the Spore space stage.
>>318277541
Pretty much. I don't know why they're so scared to show or tell more unless the game is actually going to be this lacking in content.
I know the release date is a good way aways but the game has also been known about for a longer time so really we should know more other than you can fly here and look at animals
>>318278117
It's literally Spore except only in space.
>this is groundbreaking!
>no one's ever done this before!
>look at all this potential here isn't this great
>we're not gonna show you what you can actually do with all this potential but look at this potential
Then a few months before release we'll see some gameplay, and it's literally clicking on planets and selling spice.

>Then a few months before release we'll see some gameplay, and it's literally clicking on planets and selling spice.
They're already shown gameplay, it's first person. We saw that in like the first trailer.
>>318280869
I'm not saying it's complicated but literally what the fuck is it? Is that all it is?
>>318281306
What do you mean is that all it is? Add some NPCs telling you to go and do that shit and it's any modern open world game. Take the NPCs away and all of a sudden it's got no gameplay? Fucking hell /v/.
>>318280869
That sounds like a fucking chore.
What if I don't want to travel to the center of the universe?
What if I want to do what anon here said >>318269828
>we used to joke about infinity a quest for earth
>now it never comes up, not even for a laugh
If this game actually releases, I'll be surprised. If it's at least a 6/10 I will be more surprised. If it's an 8/10 then I will be most surprised.
>>318282264
Then you play a different game?
It's like playing GTA and saying "This is shit, why doesn't the game let me run for president?"
>>318282380
>Makes a large procedural multillayer game where you can't meet up with your own friends.
That's stupid, even if we do run into a person we might end up shooting them or them shooting us. Who the fuck wants that?
>>318282486
Not anon but, you can't use GTA as a comparison. GTA gives you a lot of stuff to do and fuck around until you finally do them all and get bored, tgat's a loy of hours of content + friends to play with
This game makes it like a chore and repetitive in a mere few hours. Also they said it will be near immpossible to even run into somebody and you might as well play it alone.
>>318282880
I'm not comparing it to GTA, I'm using GTA as an example. You're asking for things that were never advertised, it's like complaining why can't you fly planes in a car racing game, that you can't use magic in a military simulator.
They've never said that online will be a huge focus, yet people think there should be guilds and being able to meet up with friends and shit.
>>318282486
But no one never thought of that. GTA is fine with what it has as always.
No Man Land is taking advantage of very large prodcedural generation, just saying exploration and upgrading your equipment is its main aspect just won't cut it.
>>318282264
>What if I don't want to travel to the center of the universe?
Then don't
WOW
I'm just waiting for the inevitable downgrade, they haven't shown any gameplay in a long time so the downgrade will be very obvious.
>>318252301
you think THAT'S not impressive?
>>318283373
>just saying exploration and upgrading your equipment is its main aspect just won't cut it.
For you guys maybe. You need it to be an mmo but with city building that's a mixture of city builders and 4x games with large scale battles between hundreds of thousands of people oh yeah and have a survival mode as well with crafting and stuff. AKA a completely fucking different game.
So like I was saying, it's like playing GTA and complaining you can't be president.
>>318269828
>Games shouldn't try to do something different than what I want them to be, they should always be exactly the same :')
>>318282640
DayZ is still a pretty popular game.
>>318257520
I thought this game was online with interaction between other players. Are you telling me that I am alone with nothing but stars and AI for company? Those misleading fucks
>>318283776
They showed gameplay just under two months ago.
>>318283350
Okay anon, that's understandable.
It's on how the game presented itself.
Large Proxedural Generation? Sounds good.
Flying through space and exploring seeing planets and the main goal is the center of the universe? Sounds good too.
Upgrading your equipment and ship and trading? Good.
Those are all good attributes, but the game would end up repetitive and become a chore. The average player would end up catching on to the rhythm. If that's all they do the game would end up mediocre at best considering the universe in the game is very large and would become boring in a few hours.
Multi player might as well be added in order to make the playtime longer.
>>318283939
They never said interaction with other players was a main focus, in fact they've said the opposite since pretty much day one.
>Those misleading fucks
Yeah it's their fault you know jack shit.
>>318257131
It'll be the collectors in in the center.
>>318284048
Grinding is still grinding with multiplayer anon, it's like you've never played an mmo before.
>>318284183
O haven't been following it very closely so all I'm going off of was day one, where they heavily implied that you would run into other players. Look at that day one trailer and tell me that the dogfight and the flying in formation, followed immediately by explaining how "thousands of players" would be finding stuff with you doesnt make you think that other players will be around. So while they didn't outright say it, they implied it. Hence misleading fucks
>>318269828
Wait, are you talking about No Mans Sky or Elite Dangerous?
>>318284595
So you admit you know jack shit? That's good at least. For future notice do some basic research before shitting on something, this isn't tumblr.
>>318284831
That's why I wasn't complaining about the lack of pansexual genderfluid otherkin toasters
>>318257420
What if it actually IS a coupon for free hookers?
>>318284595
From what I've heard, the game is online but because the game is so fucking big, you'll hardly actually bump into anyone else.
This "game" just seems like the devs are just pushing the machine to it's limits and not actually providing an objective or goal or reason to play.
Their whole shtick this whole time has literally been "look how big it is".
>>318284439
But grinding for materials and trading is obvious as they're in-game economics many mmo's and games like Minecraft do this.
I mean the other elements that the gane give off. Some anons in this thread implied that they would not go to the center, what will they do from there? Just endlessly look at planets and just shoot ships and mine most of the game while the others that do go to the center would be probably busy with a motivated curosity.
>>318285634
>not actually providing an objective
Are you actually a retard ? Answer me hoenstly please, I know nothing about this game, and simply typed out of curiosity "No Man's Sky objective" and the first links gave me all the answer I'm needed. So you're either a retard that can't use Google or a shitposter.
>it would take 584 billion years to log every planet in this game
This isn't a fucking game it's an experiment to see how much they can do with the PS4.
>>318286689
Noy anon but
No Man's Land main objective is to go to the center of the universe.
Meaning it would take a long time considering how big it is.
>ITT retards keep blaming the game for not being something it never said it would be.
I guess life must be hard when you literally can never accept the idea of something not being made specifically for your tastes.
>>318286873
*Not

This all of them really.
>>318285505

>>318287098
Still good, still not buying it until I get some official gameplay and feedback. This game is making everyone so confused and fickle opinions about this one game.
With the POSSIBLE exception of very-strict-definition roguelikes, which center their core gameplay mechanics around randomness, and ultra-fundamental arcade games like Tetris and such, have never seen a game with procedurandom generation that wasn't worse off for it.
So No Man's Sky sounds like a total shitheap.
Remember the more complex the element being randomized, the less likely the randomization is to yield something useful. Randomizing something the scope of a planet is a recipe for boring repeated pallete-swapped layouts and tilesets.

It seems weird, is every planet a giant sun shining like Earth?
Shouldn't there be that one planet that's just dull due to clouds or like the ones in Interstellar where the snow planet didn't seem to exaggerate like the ones in No Man's Sky?
>>318287250

>>318287098
>dinosaurs
If I was 8, that'd sell it for me.
>>318290315
If it was a realistic (relatively) simulator of space exploration, then it'd be mega boring. Take our Solar System for an example. If we count main planets, there are only 4 you can set your foot on (Mercury, Venus [requires special cooling systems and pressure-resistant shit, but you still can land on it], Earth and Mars). The rest are gas giants with only their moons that are of interest to us. All of those planets are just boring, barren wastelands.
Realistic exploration would have those basically 90% of the time you get to see a new planet/moon.
